Polestar (Personal Project)
Created as a means to challenge myself and my 3D landscape creation skills. Tackling a large scale landscape along with a fully rigged car model was a incredible opportunity to push my creative limits!

Research began with the environment.
Although I can't say for certain there is a specific "Biome" I ended up creating, general vibe was that of a lush pine forest surrounded by mountains.

Design took on many forms in this project.
Layering plants, rocks and shrubs were one of the many pieces to this large scale environment puzzle I laid out. Along side sculpting and texturing all landscape meshes there was no shortage of 3D design techniques being explored and implemented.

The magic truly happens in post!
Adding a good color grade, film emulation & lens flares always helps to boost the realism of a 3D animation.
